On April 27, 2011, we began installing equipment that will use a newly developed technology for the abstraction of minerals at the Tennessee Mine.

On May 4, 2011, we found a surface vein that runs along the Tennessee and Schuylkill properties. The preliminary measurement showed that the vein is anywhere between 10 and 28 feet wide and runs approximately a half of a mile long. Based on the on the new discovery, the Company has taken samples and is awaiting the test results.  The Company is currently in the process of completing the Mining Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) training, inspection and site review at the Tennessee Mine.
